[01:14] <superboot> Hi all. I'm installing a fresh install to replace an existing install of ubuntu server. I want to doze the old LVM. What commands can I use from this busybox environment? lvmremove isn't included...
[01:20] <RoyK> superboot: doze?
[01:28] <ianorlin> superboot: do you mean completey get rid of the lvm
[01:30] <ianorlin> superboot: maybe try creating a new parition table but not quite sure what command to do for that
[01:32] <ianorlin> superboot: do you have vgremove?
[01:40] <BTJustice> I made a USB boot install using Startup Disk Creator in regular Ubuntu and used to Ubuntu Server .ISO for the source as I want to try it.  When I boot from the USB stick and start the installer, it nags about needing the CD mounted.  Any way around that?
[01:41] <qman__> Use the net install image instead
[01:42] <BTJustice> Alright and what exactly are HWE backport kernels?
[01:43] <qman__> They're newer kernels back pored to the older releases
[01:43] <BTJustice> Not sure if I should use that or not.
[01:43] <qman__> You should
[01:44] <BTJustice> Alright I will download that one.  Thanks.
[01:44] <qman__> Newer kernels add hardware support and features
[01:44] <qman__> Unless you have a specific need for an older kernel, installing those is a good idea
[01:44] <BTJustice> So I just need the mini.iso and use that with the Startup Disk Creator?
[01:45] <qman__> Yes, and toward the end of the install it will give you a menu of things to install
[01:45] <qman__> For Ubuntu server, you want to select "Basic Ubuntu Server"
[01:46] <BTJustice> Alright.  Thanks again.
[01:55] <superboot> ianorlin: Thanks for responding. I figured it out with a combonation of pvremove, vgremove, lvremove, and fdisk.
[01:55] <superboot> ianorlin: Thanks again.
[02:59] <jak2000> hi why i cant update my ubuntu: http://postimg.org/image/i4bhpp99x/
[03:48] <RoyK> jak2000: eh - apt-get update - then apt-get upgrade - not both at the same time
[03:49] <RoyK> jak2000: apt-get install is for installing new stuff
[03:57] <jak2000> Royk yes understand
[03:57] <jak2000> but not wokr
[03:57] <jak2000> how to change the keyboard language? load keys?
[04:01] <sarnold> jak2000: at the consoles? or X?
[04:01] <jak2000> console
[04:01] <sarnold> jak2000: try dpgk-reconfigure console-data
[04:03] <jak2000> package 'console-data' is not installed
[04:03] <sarnold> install it, then try reconfiguring it?
[04:04] <jak2000> arghh
[04:05] <jak2000> sarnold canyou have time and connect iva teamviewer? pls
[04:05] <sarnold> jak2000: what's that?
[04:05] <jak2000> i cant type anyting ok.
[07:12] <ws2k3> Hello when i try to run apt-get upgrade i get : dpkg: warning: files list file for package `x' missing, assuming package has no files currently installed. i already tryed apt-get purge, autoremove, clean, install --reinstall but that all didnt worked what can i do to fix this
[07:54] <HFSPLUS> !ops | whats up
[07:55] <HFSPLUS> !ops | whats up
[07:56] <HFSPLUS> Guest85948, is idleone undercover
[07:56] <Guest85948> Not really hiding when I identify and everybody knows that on freenode it gets announced
[08:22] <lordievader> Good morning.
[08:27] <YamakasY> morning
[08:27] <YamakasY> anyone using anyterm on trusty ?
[08:39] <histo> !anyone | YamakasY
[08:40] <histo> YamakasY: ask your next question the real one and see.
[08:42] <YamakasY> histo: nah, I cannot compile it
[08:43] <histo> !info anyterm
[08:44] <YamakasY> this is what I get http://pastebin.com/M5PwxwsD
[08:44] <YamakasY> histo: heh, I know that
[08:44] <lordievader> Do you have the boost headers installed?
[08:44] <YamakasY> I have installed them all
[08:45] <YamakasY> the all package
[08:45] <YamakasY> libboost-dev
[08:46] <lordievader> Including 'libboost1.54-dev'?
[08:46] <YamakasY> checking
[08:47] <YamakasY> lordievader: 54 or 55
[08:47] <lordievader> 54 came up in my apt-file search.
[08:47] <YamakasY> ok, 55 here
[08:47] <YamakasY> lordievader: update your apt cache :P
[08:48] <YamakasY> nope 55 is not installed
[08:48] <lordievader> Nevermind, both are mentioned.
[08:48] <YamakasY> same error
[08:49] <YamakasY> I get the feeeling that paths are changed
[08:49] <YamakasY> at least I tried to change them manually and I got further
[08:49] <lordievader> Yeah, the path doesn't exactly match.
[08:50] <YamakasY> :(
[08:50] <YamakasY> meh
[08:50] <lordievader> Perhaps http://wiki.kartbuilding.net/index.php/Anyterm helps?
[08:51] <YamakasY> oeh, didn't found that yet
[08:51] <YamakasY> lordievader: are we going to build a kart ?
[08:51] <lordievader> I'm not.
[08:51] <YamakasY> oh
[08:51] <YamakasY> speed is everything
[08:52] <YamakasY> lordievader: this is so weird https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=913877
[09:20] <YamakasY> lordievader: mhh no go
[09:25] <lordievader> Hmm, that is too bad. I'm afraid I cannot help you then.
[09:25] <lordievader> Perhaps they have their own channel, or something like that?
[09:27] <YamakasY> lordievader: nope, checked
[09:27] <YamakasY> it's kinda old, there is now ajaxterm
[09:27] <YamakasY> but I need any :S
[09:42] <skylite> I see a gap in time and four lines of ^@^@^@ characters in the all the log files at the same time. What does this indicate?
[09:42] <lordievader> skylite: Usually a crash.
[09:43] <skylite> how can I detect what caused the crash without logs? :/
[09:44] <lordievader> skylite: Does it reboot on kernel panics? If so, disable that and wait for it to crash again then look at the stack trace. (I know this ain't great advice)
[10:11] <hiwk> How can I install ubuntu server over serial?
[10:12] <hiwk> I can boot from USB, but it tries to launch things on some vga port (which I understand is a sensible default)
[10:13] <rbasak> You need to give it some kernel parameters on boot I think.
[10:15] <hiwk> rbasak: sure. do I need to unpack the iso, modify it and recreate it?
[10:15] <lordievader> You can edit the kernel parameters on a live-usb boot too.
[10:16] <rbasak> hiwk: you could do that. Might be easier to arrange a netboot.
[10:16] <lordievader> Or at least in the menu unetbootin creates you can.
[10:16] <hiwk> lordievader: which image should I use then?
[10:17] <lordievader> hiwk: Hmm, according to [1] you do need to edit files. Perhaps a netboot is easier, indeed. [1]: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SerialConsoleHowto
[10:18] <lordievader> Else you need to unpack the iso -> unpack the squashfs -> make changes -> pack squashfs -> create iso.
[10:24] <hiwk> lordievader: I've seen thath [1] before, but it only seems to be about an already installed system. I need somthing (e.g. grub) to present itself on the serial console to get there :)
[10:27] <hiwk> I see if I can find a vga monitor somewhere to bootstrap with, but it seems strange that this would be so disabled for a server installation
[10:29] <lordievader> My vm's boot with the serial options, I do not get to see grub. However I did need to modify those files to get it going.
[10:33] <hiwk> yes, (via vga+keyboard) adding console=ttyS0,115200n8 did launch the installation guide on the serial console
[10:33] <hiwk> that would be really convinient to be able to access elsewise :)

[14:32] <smoser> smb`, around ?
[14:32] <smoser> i really, really hate multipath
[14:33] <smoser> http://paste.ubuntu.com/11762474/ <-- i'd like some help with lines ~2716 there.
[14:33] <smoser> curtin partitions a disk (/dev/sda), installs to it... runs 'blkid'
[14:33] <smoser> telling blkid to ignore cache (by removing the files it would have)
[14:33]  * smb` looks
[14:34] <smoser> and then even tries 'sync' and doing it again.
[14:34] <smoser> it *should* see a /dev/sdg2 (or some value of 'g') that has the same data as sda2 does.
[14:34] <smoser> oh fiddle.
[14:34] <smb`> only if you rereadpt on sdg
[14:35] <smoser> i probably need to tell the kernel to re-read partition information on  that disk.
[14:35] <smb`> yep
[14:35] <smoser> did i say i hate multipath ?
[14:35] <smb`> blockdev --rereadpt /dev/sdg
[14:35] <smb`> I think you may have mentioned it before
[14:35] <smoser> smb`, what is really fun about this is that code works perfectly fine on trusty and vivid.
[14:36] <smoser> but not wily
[14:37] <smoser> smb`, i guess before, i thought that blkid actually opened /dev/block-device
[14:37] <smoser> and read the partition information itself, and seeked to partition starts and read data there ...
[14:37] <smoser> but i guess not
[14:38] <smb`> No I think not. Likely only walks through what is in sysfs which is the kernels current impression of reality
[14:40] <smoser> smb`, so what garbage is causing this to work on trusty and vivid
[14:40] <smoser> what fun this is.
[14:44] <smb`> smoser, So you say you change the partition table of sda and blkid without arguments finds the partition layout on the other disk?
[14:44] <smoser> yeah
[14:44] <smoser> reliably
[14:44] <smoser> note, itsnot immiediately after.
[14:44]  * smb` looks doubting
[14:45] <smoser> i've done a large tar -S to the filesystme that i made on that partition
[14:45] <smoser> and then written 8G ofzeros into tha tfileysstme for the swap..
[14:45] <smoser> ie, huge amount of time has passed
[14:47] <smb`> smoser, but for the kernel those two disks are independent. something has to trigger updating the partition info on the other device in some way
[14:51] <smoser> smb`, i'm not making this stuff up :)
[14:52] <smoser> what you're saying makes sense, but differs by fairly extensive amount of logs and data i've collected.
[14:52] <smb`> smoser, you know us guys. we not trust anybody anywhere
[14:52] <smb`> :)
[14:52] <smoser> s/differs by/differs from the/
[14:53] <smb`> Maybe some magic udev rule. But I really could not explain it right now
[16:22] <jamespage> coreycb, zul: emailed the TB to request a MRE for oslo packages - seems to make sense to me
[16:23] <coreycb> jamespage, yes that does make sense
[16:23] <jamespage> coreycb, I was wondering about the clients as well
[16:23] <jamespage> just patch releases mind
[16:24] <jamespage> coreycb, zul: there appear to be stable branchs for >= kilo
[16:24] <jamespage> hmm
[16:25] <RoyK> jamespage: oslo packages?
[16:27] <coreycb> jamespage, I'd think the clients make sense too then
[16:29] <jamespage> RoyK: yeah - shared Openstack bits and pieces
[16:29] <jamespage> https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Oslo
[16:33] <zul> jamespage: +1
[16:34] <hariom> I am using Canonical Image on AWS. I want to export that image or copy that disk to run it locally. Is that possible?
[16:34] <hariom> When I export using AWS CLI tools, I get error: Client.NotExportable
[18:58] <Overand> Hey - will the "no dots" rule for stuff in /etc/cron.daily/ (or whatnot) prevent a symbolic link from working?  Like, my symbolic link "dailybackup" is a link to "/usr/local/bin/daily-backup.sh"
[20:32] <yottatsa> Hello
[20:32] <yottatsa> Is it right place to ask about Ubuntu Cloud Archive?
[20:41] <smoser> yottatsa, sure.
[20:42] <smoser> yottatsa, whats up?
[20:44] <yottatsa> Just realized that kilo backports for trusty https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-cloud-archive/+archive/ubuntu/kilo-staging contains way too old version of python-keystoneclient
[20:44] <yottatsa> 1:1.2.0-0ubuntu1~cloud0 500 http://mirror.yandex.ru/mirrors/ubuntu-cloud/ trusty-updates/kilo/main amd64 Packages
[20:45] <yottatsa> is there any reason to keep it this old?
[21:49] <DonRichie> Can somebody recommend a pastebin software with syntax highlighting and maybe a little bit eye candy?
[21:49] <tracphil> I have a preseed file for Trusty that runs a script in-target. eth0 is a dhcp IP. This script sets up a static public IP on eth0:0 and echos the following: echo 'source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*.cfg' >> /etc/network/interfaces Once the server reboots, this line is no longer in the file.
[21:50] <tracphil> This works without issue on Jessie. For the life of me, I can't figure out what is going on.
[21:54] <tracphil> Also, in the same script, just to make sure the echo is working... before the system reboots, I did this: cat /etc/network/interfaces >> /root/postinstall
[21:54] <tracphil> and the contents are there as expected
[21:57] <tracphil> DonRichie: https://github.com/claudehohl/Stikked
[21:58] <DonRichie> thank you tracphil, will try it out
[23:22] <omfgtora> when installing ubuntu-14.04.2-server-amd64, i select OpenSSH server and LAMP, but i cant connect via SSH
[23:22] <omfgtora> i tried installing twice, what stupid thing am i doing wrong?
[23:23] <sarnold> omfgtora: if you're installing it ina vps environment like amazon ec2, you may need to modify their firewall rules to allow incoming ssh
[23:23] <sarnold> omfgtora: for ec2 you'd look for e.g. security groups
[23:23] <jpds> omfgtora: You know that you van install a single package for that?
[23:23] <omfgtora> just an old poweredge 1800 i have
[23:23] <sarnold> ahh
[23:23] <jpds> omfgtora: sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[23:24] <omfgtora> did that
[23:24] <omfgtora> no difference
[23:24] <sarnold> omfgtora: dang that means you get to do the full gamut of debugging :) check dmesg to see if it reports anything about ethernet, use ip addr list, ip route list, etc, to make sure the configuration is what you expect..
[23:24] <omfgtora> cool, so i'm not just dumb (even though i am)
[23:25] <sarnold> well, enough people miss the security groups that it's worth starting with that :) hehe
[23:25] <sarnold> I'm not bitter because it cost me an hour, no sir, not me
[23:30] <omfgtora> lol
[23:36] <omfgtora> well, it seems i have a new problem
[23:36] <omfgtora> the network apparently requires authentication
[23:36] <omfgtora> never needed it before...
[23:36] <omfgtora> cant seem to be able to run apt-get update
[23:51] <teward> "the network apparently requires authentication"
[23:51] <teward> omfgtora: explain "cant seem to be able to run apt-get update"
[23:51] <teward> as it is it's V A G U E so it's impossible to diagnose/debug
[23:52] <omfgtora> i was just explaining my frustration. i wasnt really asking for help... yet
[23:52] <omfgtora> not done googling
[23:53]  * teward returns to trying to set up snort to do pcap analysis
